Game thread for Iowa vs. NU

[bjm989_rivals]

Jeezus - why are these Io_a losers being allowed to foul on every entry pass?

We don’t get full court trapped very often, so we seem to lose our composure a bit at the start when a team goes into it. Gotta be ready from here on out!

 

[ballerog711]

Beran with the brain fart at the end of half. He is better than that.

Team needs to be smart closiing out the half. They did the same thing at Iowa

 

[DaCat]

Great first half by the Cats. Now gotta keep Io_a from reverting back to the mean on their 3 point shooting in the second half.

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

Beran with a poor first half after that early layup.. we need him to be better

 

[mekCat]

Being a long time Cat fan, my trauma brain fears another game like IN. But if it ends up with a 2 point win, I'll survive.

 

[Deeringfish]

Not that I should look past this game but Illinois doesn't play til tomorrow so after this game There is recovery time. SO the Cats don't need to hold any thing back.

 

[Alvious]

Sooner or later Iowa will heat up from 3. Got to play well on O.

That's about the extent of my basketball acumen. Go 'Cats!

Same

 

[DaCat]

Hang on tight fellas, it's going to be a wild second half.

 

[No Chores]

Iowa kid BANKS in a 3 at the end of the half - ugh!

Yeah but it's great to have a nice lead at half time. Just need to keep the foot not he throttle.

[SmellyCat]

Better to be ahead by 11 than down by 11, that's for sure, but the nervousness of a Cats fan knows no bounds.

 

[its_the_sauce]

B1G Network missed it. NU doesn't have much of that kind of flash but its because the women spend a lot of time developing smart.

Cameraman in WR showed it again, quite impressive lol

 

[Darren72]

Hopefully they learned something from the second half of the IU game that they can adjust and not let that happen again.

 

[Titanium999]

Team effort! Get everything involved

 

[SmellyCat]

Love seeing Nicholson with the hook shot, even though it missed. If he can add that to his repertoire, it helps the Cats a lot. Like seeing him make a couple of layups early in the 2H too.

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

That ball into MN is gonna be a key play the rest of the half

I believe the rather accurate quote is “BOO BUIE IS A GOD” - @AdamOnFirst

Could not agree more. I loved the shot and wanted it to go in like no other shot this game!

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Barnhizer was set!

 

[bjm989_rivals]

Refs calling some weak fouls.

 

[EagerFan]

Three bad calls on the cats, but Brooks keeps fighting.

 

[EagerFan]

We need to buildup this lead some more. Love the fight in our guys.

 

[SmellyCat]

Barnhizer is in the middle of everything. Love watching him play. Other schools are going to HATE him in the coming years, and I'm there for it.

With Chase sitting we need BB to step up on O.

 

[EagerFan]

Two technicals on meltdown mccaffery.

 

[SmellyCat]

So that helps.

 

[mekCat]

I'm thinking they hate BB right now!

 

[its_the_sauce]

We're at game. What exactly was he complaining about?

 

[EagerFan]

Martinelli also giving great stuff for a freshman.

 

[Hungry Jack]

FRANCON LEVEL10

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

Adios Franny

 

[GatoLouco]

Xanax wore out. Man was way too calm

 

[mekCat]

Verhoeven with some nice moves.

 

[TheC]

Wow… was that a desperation last chance by Fran to fire up his team?

 

[drewjin]

The potty mouth, Mr. Peabody, gets T ed and escorted to the locker room!

 

[ThatadultfromHolland]

Wow… was that a desperation last chance by Fran to fire up his team?

You get 1 T for that not ejected.

 

[TheC]

Why isn’t it our ball?.!!!?
